Hypothetically, lets say Jerry does want Deion and Deion wants Shedeur. How does Jerry get the #1 overall pick?
Can we not, please?
I'm not sure I buy that Shedeur goes #1 overall. It's not even clear that he's the #1 QB taken, as Cam Ward is being rated consistently higher. Sanders goes outside the Top-5 a lot. That said, I think a Top-5 pick probably secures Sanders, since little else would be required to snag him, like a late draft pick or prospect.
I agree with that assessment. However, in the hypothetical of - if you're Jerry who wants Deion and Deion wants Shedeur, Jerry pretty much has to secure #1 overall well before the draft to ensure they get what they want. Either that, or he needs to blackmail 31 other teams to NOT take Shedeur before he does.
Just saying, if he secures #5 by jumping up from the #12 spot, it's 'possible' with limited talks with the Titans, Browns, Giants, Pats and Jags. Two of those teams have young QBs they at least want to pretend to build around, so that leaves only 3- at least 1 of which will probably prefer Cam Ward or Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter or one of the elite linemen. Jerruh's negotiating skills are only sharp in his own mind, so yeah, he'd probably have to overpay.
There's the flaw. The Cowboys aren't a self-respecting NFL organization and haven't been for 20-30 years.
I think that’s an unfair comparison. I don’t think Sheduer will be a good pro, but he’s not Bronny James bad. At least he played well in college.
